"Before implementing Preactor we used to have piles of stocks everywhere, but that is radically different now. Our on-time delivery performance is now more than 95% and work in process down by 60%. This has translated into real savings of €80,000 per year while an increase in efficiency of 17% means an additional saving of €40,000 per year. Urgent transport costs that were running at €20,000 are now almost a thing of the past. As the total project cost was in the order of €5,000 this means a quite amazing return on their investment.”

Preactor International, the world’s leading specialist planning and scheduling Software Company, today announced the formation of a wholly owned subsidiary, Preactor North America. Based in Dallas, Texas, Preactor North America will strengthen the existing network of North American partners led by Network Partner Quinn & Associates.

Chief Operating Officer Andy Willis and team will oversee the company’s establishment and growth, with Willis bringing over 14 years comprehensive experience with Preactor. At a user level he was responsible for implementing Preactor across an international food group before joining the Preactor Development team and going on to lead this successfully for the past four years.

Greg Quinn, Preactor Network Partner and President of Quinn & Associates comments on the significance of Preactor North America, “Interest in Preactor has consistently grown in the user and software vendor community as both have come to see the positive ways that Preactor can complement existing manufacturing IT solutions, especially ERP and MES systems.” He continues, “The depth of technical product knowledge and on-going involvement with product development that Andy brings will also be valuable in further strengthening our product support across all times zones in the USA, Canada and Mexico.”

Mike Novels, CEO of the Preactor International is equally as positive. “We have built up an excellent network of partners in North America led by Quinn & Associates and our user base is now well over 300. The time is right to increase our marketing and support efforts to build on all that has been achieved and to bring the proven benefits of Preactor to manufacturers throughout North America and beyond.”
